This is where you'll be able to find the latest comments from Scot and Kevn. They will update as often as possible.
(May 4, 1999) On Sunday, May 2, arson was committed at one of the many schools in Defiance, Ohio. An estimated one million dollars in damage is rumored. This is not something that we at TRAVIS want to hear from other communities in this country. We want to hear positive things from places like Defiance, we want to hear responses and memos about the prevention of such terror.
Spread the word of peace and love. As Kevn and I have realized, we are the modern day equivalent to the hippies of 1969 (minus the unhealthy attributes). If the word is going into many peoples ears from a thousand different dirrections, it will be hard to ignore, and it will be that much easier to do something about all these attacks on the youth from the youth.

Well, I have been very impressed with the response that
TRAVIS has recieved in our community, and on the
'net. Our site is nearing 500 hits in five days,
with is so much more than I expected so quickly. I
thank you all for visiting this site. Hopefully you
will make TRAVIS an active force in your communty. I
would love to hear from everyone reguarding what they
have done for the cause.
Unfortunately, I have more bad news to report. Today
another bomb threat was called into Scot's school.
Folks, this has got to stop. Us teens need to band
together. All types; 'jocks', 'goths', 'nerds',
'ravers', 'preppies', all of the various 'types' need
to unite to put an end to this madness. Please help
us get the word out before someone does something
real, and it is too late.
One more issue that I would like to address is that
in a recent CNN poll, more people felt that the media
was more to blame than the kids themselves! WHAT?
Now, I am not gonna sit here and say that the media
was a non-factor. That is untrue. However, blaming
the media masks only the true problem. Let me tell
you some things about myself: I have worn a black
trench coat in public. One of my favorite movies is
"Scream". I thought "Natural Born Killers" was a good
movie, and I have played, and enjoyed "DOOM". Look at
what I am doing. I am on the very opposite side,
trying to stop the violence, but I have been
subjected to the very same "bad influences" Eric
Harris and Dylan Klebold were. I turned out fine.
It's all about how we treat our fellow man. Not the
media, not guns, not even about the internet. This
story is about people, and we at TRAVIS are doing our
best to remind everyone about that. It all lies in
the golden rule: "Do unto others as you'd have unto
you". Let's all do our best to try to live by that.
Until next time God bless,
KEVN
